Dr. K. Don Arrasmith, 91, passed away peacefully on March 1, 2026, in Omaha, Nebraska. Born on December 21, 1934 in Grand Island, he dedicated his life to the well-being of others through his distinguished career in medicine and his commitment to family and faith.

Dr. Arrasmith graduated from Valentine Public Schools, and pursued higher education at Hastings College and the University of Nebraska College of Medicine. As a family physician at Physicians Clinic, he was recognized for his exceptional care and dedication to his patients. His contributions to the field were honored when he was named Nebraska Family Physician of the Year. Dr. Arrasmith also served as President of both the Nebraska Academy of Family Practice and the Methodist Hospital Foundation, leaving an enduring legacy in the medical community.

A man of deep faith, Dr. Arrasmith was a devoted member of Christ Community Church. Known for his humor, kindness, and compassion, he was cherished by all who knew him.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Marcie; his children Chris (Lynette), Julie Currey, and Jill (Andrew) Macfadyen; ten grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren.

In lieu of a memorial service, the family requests that donations be made to the Nebraska Methodist Foundation in Dr. Arrasmith's honor.

I was in Pharmaceutical sales, and called on Dr. Arrasmith until his retirement. He was a joy to be around, and was a great physician and his large practice reflected that for so many years.

Dr. Arrasmith delivered both my girls and was their Dr as long as he was at Physicians Clinic. We all LOVED Dr. A, as we called him. He delivered more babies from our Lamaze class than any other doctor. What a wonderful man he was.

I have great fondness and memories of Don and Marcie. Working with you both designing and building your first deck on your home and adding storage areas. It was his expression of happiness and acceptance of the product that inspired Gary Spring and myself to continue to build more outdoor decks for others. I considered you both good friends.
